Asheville School
Asheville School is a private, university-preparatory boarding school in Asheville, North Carolina.
Freshbait created a set of materials (from a 56-page Viewbook to a two-fold fact sheet) that work together to form a cohesive look that defined them as a progressive, personal, academically and athletically challenging alternative to tier one private high schools.
And a look that will make kids say, “wow, this school looks cool AND will help me get into a top university.” Yes, kids do think that way nowadays.

Academic Prospectus and Afternoon Activities brochure are companions to the Viewbook. Parents booklet (right) was given a more serious and elegant style.

Quotes and first-hand experience from students were highlighted throughout the materials.

Fold out sidebars with humorous copy and illustration added levity and surprise to the experience.

Clever callouts and half-pages on uncoated stock made browsing the material fun and surprising.

The Parents booklet, focused on building trust with Asheville School and their child's future, used a more serious tone and style.

It uses a timeline to help tell a story and engage with readers.
